While the PM was unexpectedly prompt in calling for an election, the PAP's selection of its candidate, introduction of the candidate to the media and subsequent campaign activities have been very systematic. Dr. Koh quickly got down to the ground doing what an good candidate is expected to do. To market him well, they call him the "son of Punggol". He was quickly seen visiting the stalled Rivervale project, a sore point among residents, meeting various stakeholders to assure them he would do what it takes to get the project going.

Things don't have to be as messy as they appear to be on the opposition side. Even if they are disunited, all that is needed is for different parties to act rationally in their own best interest. The facts are not too difficult to grasp. Workers' Party contested in the SMC with decent results in the 2011 elections. Riding the moral high ground after the recent AIMgate and Palm-gate, it's chance of winning is very good and it is not reasonable to expect Workers' Party to give up this opportunity to take up one more seat to add to the pressure it has put on the PAP on various issues. The recent proposal by SDP[Link] for WP not to participate in the by-election is ludicrous and self-damaging - they lost some of the credibility they gained during GE2011....the best thing they can do now is not to make things worse for themselves by joining a contest they will certainly lose due to lack of time to work the ground and be blamed for causing the loss of a seat that could have been won by another opposition party. Unfortunately, based on what they have done in recent days, I'm not sure if they are able to stop damaging their own reputation further.

"But given the mood change since, the ruling party will have a tougher time – if it is a two-party contest. If it faces the Workers Party alone, the PAP may likely lose." - Seah Chiang Nee[Link]

We start off with a roughly 50-50 situation in a direct contest between WP and PAP. You can't say for sure who will win because it is hard to assess the swing votes but we know the swing will be in favor of WP because Palmer was far better known than Dr. Koh and things have not gotten better (for Punggol residents and Singaporeans) since the 2011 election. Starting with this, any additional opposition party that comes in to contest will chip away WP's block of votes - the irony is the better quality their candidate, the bigger chunk they will take and the less likely an opposition candidate will win the seat.

“if we enter into (a three-cornered fight), we're only going to kill ourselves. We're not that stupid.” - Chiam See Tong, GE2006.

Chiam See Tong's party SPP and NSP have chosen to do the sensible thing to stay out of this contest. These are the 2 parties that came closest to winning parliament seats in GE2011 after the WP - with narrow defeats in Potong Pasir and Marine Parade GRC.

For the other parties, whatever their intentions are, their joining the contest will stop the WP from winning another seat without gaining anything but blame for helping the PAP retain its seat in Punggol East. Opposition supporters will be left with this feeling of "what could have been" and morn a wasted opportunity. We saw the end result of vote splitting in the Presidential Election, it is likely that Tan Cheng Bock would have won if the votes were not split. But nobody could have foreseen this close fight between Tan Cheng Bock and Tony Tan - you cannot blame the other presidential candidates for the missed opportunity because it was unpredictable. However, for this by election, we have baseline results from GE2011 so there is no excuse to hand PAP the victory by splitting the votes when the people of Punggol East actually want an opposition member of parliament.

To put it simply, the PAP will win in a 3- or 4- corner fight. The opposition parties joining the contest will walk off as losers - a defeat they inflict on themselves. Unless their goal is to stop the WP which they see as a rival, the decision to contest just makes no sense. If they are there to stop the WP, then these other parties are led by people whose intentions are not very clear. A stronger WP will pave the way for other opposition parties. The better WP performs, the stronger the proof that alternatives to PAP can perform well and that will help people to overcome their reservations about voting for alternatives. Other parties can choose to leverage on the success of WP to advance their own cause or they choose to turn this win-win situation into a lose-lose one. Perhaps, the biggest obstacle to the progress of opposition politics is not the PAP - these days they can't seem to solve any of our problems and reverse the rising discontent- but the inability of personalities in opposition parties to make sensible decisions.

You are spot on. Personalities like Dr Chee and Kenneth Jayeratnam are just too full of themselves. Their egoes are clouding their ability to think. They don't seem to understand what is team work. Any party that wants to be government must be able to work as a team and make decisions collectively. If you can't do that, please leave politics.

If you go through their GE2006 manifesto, they are fundamentally different from the PAP...it is as clear as night and day.

However, today to chooses its fights very carefully mindful of PAP's current dominance - it fights only battles it can win. Bigger issues like GRC which it opposes, it is not the time yet to fight these bigger battles.

I think there is perhaps a lesson not to take on too big a fight before you have the support on the ground.

For the one on healthcare, I'm all for more to be done. But remember the SDP proposal calls for slashing the defense budget by half in order not to raise taxes. The alternative is to make everyone pay progressive more. Because it is fundamentally different from the current system, you need to win more seats in parliament to push these ideas through. Without winning more seats, these policies are just ideas without the backing of the people's votes.

You need to win elections and parliament seats first. It just happens that WP is not too bad at this.

There will always be weirdos like KJ and CSJ in the future. Who is to say that it will be "easy" to avoid multi-cornered fights in GE2016?

Maybe more weirdos will show up too.

My guess is that GE2016 will have more multi-cornered fights, than what we saw in GE2011. Particularly if LKY by then is gone.

So I see this as an inevitable phease in the maturing of Sgp political scene. Its not only the political parties that need to learn to fight without lose-lose -- we the people need to mature too. Do you know why in the USA, rarely do any 3rd party manage to squeeze itself in? Because the people are matured enough to know that if a 3rd party comes in, a vote for X is simply a vote for Y. And they reject that 3rd party. So even in Virginia or Colorado which saw 3-cornered fights like in 2012, these 3rd parties poll hardly 1-2%.

So treat this as a phase we'll just have to go thro in our maturation. I think WP knows this. I don't see this Punggol multi-corner fight as a "lose" for WP. The key is that WP must perform head and shoulders above everyone else. Let the people see WP as the "Tan Cheng Bock" equivalent. Just like the people in the USA knows that a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for Democrats (if you're a republican) or vice versa. Then in future elections, they'll learn and more will vote accordingly.

I bet you that if another Presidential elections were held in Sgp today, those thinking of voting for TKL will have switched to TCB. Thats similarly what I see for the political parties, going into the future.

WP is a strategically smart party and it plays the long game. In contrast, I find that SDP (rather, CSJ) is like Romney .. he has a tendency to self-destruct.

While it is reality that multi party contest will give PAP a much higher chance to win Punggol East again, voters themselves are the ones that ultimately decide the Result.

There is no need for voters to sit on the fence and or face dilemma if they have clear understanding of the situation and that of the Alternative Parties.

Singaporeans who have to vote(compulsory mah) got to understand that in order to have a credible opposition in Parliament, the Parties they choose must have proven track record. It must also be able to contest in many wards. Those without track record and only contested few wards here and there, due to lack of members should be sidelined for the time being. The reason is that they will NOT have the potential to govern nor the support from the people. Otherwise, will have many members and would have contested Island wide at the Last GE..

The individual calibres aside, unless it is independent candidate, voters should avoid voting parties lacking the potential to form the Government AS WELL AS LACKING THE CRITICAL MASS TO ACT IN UNISON WHEN SUCH DECISION IS CALLED FOR.

Hope voters will elect candidate(s) base on more objective criteria and consideration. And may it starts with Punggol East Voters.

I'm surprised no one has seen that there is no such thing as a Opposition.

There is the WP who is in the Opposition, then there are other parties seeking to enter the House. Out of all these, the SDP under CSJ has the potential to stem the WP momentum. For them, the status quo where the PAP is vulnerable but quite capable of hemming in the WP is preferred. But a continually growing WP will eventually crowd out all the other parties. The NSP appears to harbour desires to meld into the WP eventually, but the rest of the oppo parties have their own vision.

A WP victory is not a win for the opposition. It is a WP and a loss for everyone else, including other parties who want to form the next govt or enter the House. Since the WP is not in an alliance with any of the other parties, the saying below applies.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but can be useful. The agremments in 2011 was not alliance, it was a non-aggression pact that no longer applies.

Dr Chee has been behaving very strangely after his discharged for bankruptcy. It is so clear that his decision to contest in the Punggol East By Election is a huge mistake. It is absolutely amazing that he cannot even see such glaring stupidity. I have lost plenty of respect for Dr Chee. The best he can do now is to admit his mistake, apologize and ask for forgiveness.

People need to understand the view from the opposition parties POV. If you are in the SDP or the WP, what good does it do your party to stand down from the by-election? Why in the world would you give the other party a free run at the PAP and let yourself become the "second" leading opposition party? It make no sense so that's why a deal was always unlikely.

I believe the biggest obstacle to the progress of opposition politics is not the PAP, but rather the inability of personalities in opposition. GE2016 will have more multi-cornered fights, than what we saw in GE2011.

MM lee was right about Singaporeans being daft. Stupid people who think they are smart even as they call the brilliant strategist stupid when they themselves are too stupid to see the light. Many even thought that csj was released from bankruptcy by the benign hands of lky. Csj engineered his release through forces that can bend lky hand. WP can do admin well, leave the strategic planning and management to the brain and then can we only hope to see real changes in Singapore.

The math of a by-elections are different from a national election. Chiam See Tong has proven for nearly 3 decades that anyone with an honest heart supported by patient residents, can manage a constituency well, despite the PAP hostility.

As a Punggol voter, I do not worry about whether its SDP, WP or RP becoming an MP.

I also noted that WP has not dissented with PAP on any major issues seriously affecting Singaporeans today: FT, healthcare, housing, transport, ministers' salary, income inequality - total silence from WP. Even AIM was revealed only after WP was attacked. Hence I take it WP will have no qualms doing the same as PAP were they in PAP's shoes.

In a by-election, I want someone to address the most immediate national problems, voting an alternative will not change the government so there is no risk of catastrophe to the country. But giving the vote to WP will not change the current silence / indirect support attitude of the WP to the PAP policies. If its a 2 corner fight, my vote goes to PAP. If a 3 party vote, it will be non-WO, non-WP but the 3rd party. If a 4th party, it will be the more credible of the non-PAP/non-WP party. That is what the coffee shop talk is at the moment.

Totally agreed with the author. SDP is making a fool of themselves better for them to concentrate on the forthcoming GE2016 and make a dent on PAP dominance once and for all. That is what the electorate wants to see. Some form of unity and agreement amongst the opposition parties like the last GE2011.

Also, beware of pro-SDP websites like Online Citizen and TRE - they manage to swing significant votes to Tan Jee Say during the presidential election despite Tan Jee Say being quite a joke about shutting down manufacturing and nothing else to offer. Most Singaporeans value integrity more than anything else - and Dr Chee Soon Juan and what he did to opposition pioneer Chiam See Tong is seen as a traitor with serious integrity problem who betrayed his mentor. To many, getting a PAP elite in is more palatable than getting a person and a party with no integrity in. There is nothing wrong with being successful and an elite just like those PAP men. But a person who betrayed the founder of SDP and cares more about his own glory? That is not forgivable. So, voters, vote wisely and channel your votes to a party that is more likely to beat the PAP. The SDP with it radical policies on promoting gay rights and instiating foreigners to go on strike is never going to fly with Singaporeans. Most Singaporeans are the rationale swing voters, not the vote monkeys just to get PAP out type.

Those who are saying WP is not disssenting to housing and healthcare etc. What do you want them to dissent about? Don't quarrel for the sake of quarreling. For housing, there is signficant effort to crash the market already with all the cooling measures. The measures are not working because Singaporeans are too rich and buying into second and third properties. What else do you want WP to dissent over? just because you have no properties doesn't mean you want every body else's asset value to collapse right? I think the property measures are fairly strong already. And if prices still don't fall, then it means the fundamentals are very strong. What else do you want to crash the market?

And you guys think if SDP come up with radical views on property and to crash the property market, they will win the election? And do you really believe SDP will do that? If they promise to crash the property market, trust me, they may not win votes. Just don't keep thinking WP is not opposing enough. You don't oppose for the sake of opposing. For instance, WP is the one who suggested making public transport a public good. That is a decent suggestion. But obviously they don't carry enough votes to take it through. What did SDP propose? Shutting down manufacturing? Promoting PRC driver strikes? What else? It's easy to be opportunistic and always oppose. It's more difficult to be objective and give credit for certain things that PAP may have done right.

It's like the Republicans and Democrats. There are times they work together and vote on the same side, e.g. more progressive taxes, because at the end of the day, its the citizens you care about, not so much opposing for the sake of opposing. Look at Singapore. Seriously, it is a very prosperious country. There may be poor people around but its actually quite a minority. Most people have monies to go on vacations and buy the latest gadgets and yet we complain and get upset when we see others doing better than us. Is PAP doing a horrible job? I don't think so. So why would you want to radically change what we have today like promoting gay rights and strikes and extortion for pay? Most people are moderates - we do have some gratitude over what PAP has done in the past. What we want is a alternative RATIONAL voice in parliament - rational means objective voice in parliament debating over national issues. Not just any monkey who oppose for the sake of opposing.

I disagree with your reading. People are looking up to strength and aggression in the market. All the alternatives are weaklings and performed lacklusterly apart from excelling in stupidity(alas if WP wins).

An independent like Tan Cheng Bock may upset the incumbent with a more convincing margin

why when there are multi-corner fights, there will be split votes for the oppositions giving advantage to the incumbents.

why should opposition parties which contest and create multi-corner fight be solely responsible and not the voters who may not be united themselves to concentrate their votes to only one opposition party, if they are voting for opposition.

sometimes, the voters are as much to be blamed for their immaturity & disunity (due to the lack of understanding on politics & all thanks to the good work of our mainstream media) as against than the different opposition parties which afterall have different ideologies & approaches and fight to get their own party brand into parliament.

People like CSJ should be locked up and the keys flushed down the toilet. I'm a avid supporter of democracy, not lunacy.

With the mess that SDP has just created, you know know who's gonna end up laughing all the way to the polls??? The freaking useless PAP. The enemy of thy enemy is my FRIEND - WP has worked the ground in the last election and based recent GE2012's results (compared to all other opposition parties i.e. SDA's Desmond Choo), had the best margin of success to defeat the incumbent PAP.

Now SDP comes in from no where, with absolutely NO preparations and wanted to frag things up.... and you actually thought that common Singaporeans will "appreciate" you and hail SDP as the "heroes".

Singaporeans as a whole, may be timid and even daft sometimes.... but no where are we idiots and moronic enough to fall for such low-handed SDP tactics.

Really!?!??!! SDP! What's your TRUE intentions? 'cos CLEARLY, the concerns and welfare of this nation and its citizens are definitely not up there in your party's agenda.

Go ahead.... put your guy in and f**k up this Punggol East By-Election. I can guarantee you that Singaporeans will REMEMBER this lunacy and your so-called party will pay DEARLY in subsequent Singapore General Elections.

I am just a common Singaporean and i will ALWAYS support the incompetent PAP over the lunatic SDP (aka Chee Soon Juan), anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

Politics is just a dirty game for all. This world or this place will never be a better place so long as it is controlled by a bunch of money worshipping, anti families people. Just read Anatomy of the state by Rothbard and everyone will understand why we should not trust any party at all to improve our lives.

"But when economic power is centralized as an instrument of political power it creates a degree of dependence scarcely distinguishable from slavery. It has been well said that, in a country where the sole employer is the state, opposition means death by slow starvation."

"Your only salvation is the book. That also you screw it up. You are pathetic"

What did you not screw up ? Books are knowledge and a GUIDE. You still need to reconcile what is being said & taught with the reality that you are living in and observe. Pathetic are those who rely on one or two sources as god given truth without deep questioning.

To be fair to the commentators, WP performance at least reflected in public does not put it in a good light. Seems like pretty ineffectual.

Even their MP Pritam has admitted to that effect.

I guess Singaporeans just want to see some accountability for all the misstep that the govt have taken. The ppl have just tried to play the hand that they had been dealt with. It's not easy since for many it's not a level playing field.

""WP performance at least reflected in public does not put it in a good light. Seems like pretty ineffectual.""

How did you perceive it. From the mainstream media ? If you control the mainstream media, the light reflected will be pretty bright and colourful to drown out whatever negative confession that may be made by one or two people.

WP had decent results in Punggol East at the last GE was due largely to the dirty tactics that they used. WP supporters went round during the last few days of the campaign period spreading really nasty lies about Desmond Lim. WP had no wish for opposition unity then, and muscled in at the last minute into an area where the Desmond Lim has been working on since GE 2006. WP is really bent on destroying other opposition parties and establish themselves as the sole opposition party. That had been their hidden agenda all the while and that has not changed.

It does not matter whether the WP wins or loses in the BE. After more than 1 year in parliament its 8 MPs have looked like PAP team B. Even PAP MPs were more robust in critisizing some of the Government's policies. (I remember back in 2006 a WP candidate voted for the PAP in Ang Mo Kio GRC, the constituency where he lived. I dont't think he was sacked or disciplined by the party.)

You are correct!PAP will surely win this time round with so many cooks spoiling the soup! They are blinded by their own self delusion or "deja vu!" That's a fact. It's so fooking obvious esp with the arrogance of wayang party throwing their weight around. Maybe the MIWs are more humble (having learnt their bitter lesson) than the wayang party. I know the truth hurts. Some of your readers just can't swollow the truth esp Patriot. But it's as clear as the midday sun that " The Chinese saying is never wrong. It's been proven beyond any doubt. Ive lost respect for those stupid clowns! Langgar!yù bàng xiāng zhēng，yú wēng dé lì （鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利 ！）

Singaporeans ecpect and want Workers Party to be co-driver to the PAP.Naturally, they have to be in the same cabin. And when they are drivet and co-drivet, please pray they dont fight in the Cabin. THAT WILL ENDANGER ALL ON BOARD.BUT,if they are found sleeping on the same bed during break and stop over, please show the evidence to everyone.ORask them to resign.No! Sack them and have them punished.

You are dealing with low class idiots and high class idiots. At the end of the day, morons will fight among themselves who should take the top seat. Ah...smart people say....high class idiots should share power with low class idiots in a two farty system and all shall be fine.

Such are the products of the superior education system and the glory and celebration of the tertiary educated bunch of farking moronic idiots your farking mothers are so proud of

In order to gain more people power or true democracy, the people of any country must display frickle-mindedness in their voting and achieve a more balance power in parliament so that no one party has power over another party. Only then, the gov will implement policies that are favourable to the people of that country.

Those rulers are afraid of losing power (and thus money). Letting them know that they will lose all their power if they did not do a good job is the best way the people can make lives better for themselves.

With due respect, I find all this call for opposition 'unity'rather silly - esp. in the context of a BE.

Look, if the opposition parties Davids wanted to unite against the PAP Goliath, they should or would have to work on some grand strategy well BEFORE any election, in particular, a GE. As a BE is like kachang puteh - a minor opportunity - something that comes along out of the blue, it is fair game for anyone to have a go for private or party reason/agenda!

One can see why SDP, WP and SDA want to have a go at it - as long as not losing its deposit is not an important factor.

The SDP may want to test out its policies offered by the BE platform, the WP wanted to contest to see if it can wrest power from the incumbent and SDA may want to see whether it is still relevant

at all after the last GE defeat. These are all very logical and practical political reasons to want to throw your hat in. And by all means.

Realistically, how can you hammer out any sort of a workable deal in such a short notice! The parties, rather than waste the time on doing the impossible, use it for its own purpose - to prepare for the battle or just declare your intention not to come in as at least one did. In politics, it makes little sense to be magnanimous when one does not have the means or luxury for it.

Surely the single most important result is whether the PAP would have its majority reduced. For the WP it would be feedback on how its fortune has turned post-GE2011, which is good feedback for GE2016.

So, by all means, every party for itself, as far BE Ponggol East is

concerned. To do so would be to lose out on a valuable opportunity

to test itself, for the big show up ahead. Even for the WP, I would say winning or losing is not the most important thing in this BE.

Chee Soon Juan, was invited to speak at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway on 8 May 2012, he was denied permission to leave Singapore to attend.Soon after, Chee Soon Juan offered to pay S$30,000 to discharge himself from bankruptcy sometime around September 11, 2011.

The main reason LKY and GCT was kind enough to accepted Chee Soon Juan's offer to pay S$30,000 to discharge himself from bankruptcy could well be a behind the scene horse trading deal with Yale was struck to prevent the PAP's Yale-NUS collaboration with Yale from derailing and a face saving way out to rationalize an extremely embarrassing and almost untenable collaboration, especially for Yale, of course, this makes whitewash and shameless.Thereafter, Chee Soon Juan and Kenneth Jeyaretnam flew many thousands of miles to New Haven to speak at the invitation Yale on the November 30, 2012. Kenneth Jeyaretnam was never sued bankrupt, only Chee Soon Juan did, he was not even invited to the Oslo Freedom Forum. How did Kenneth Jeyaretnam managed the clout to get to speak at Yale. Most probably from someone within Yale and even within PAP's Yale-NUS, certainly from Chee Soon Juan.During GE 2011, Kenneth Jeyaretnam's Reform Party contested the Ang Mo Kio GRC against PM Lee's GRC team . PM Lee won with a mandate of 69.3 percent. If the Workers Party were the contender,PM Lee's vote count would not look pretty.Kenneth Jeyaretnam said, "We are the first new party set up in over 20 years, and this was our first election. It was the Reform Party's first election and Kenneth Jeyaretnam sent his team to contest PM Lee's Ang Mo Kio GRC team knowing it was a sure defeat?. As far as I know, there wasn't much banners or posters put up by the Reform Party if any, I think there wasn't even any loud hailer to announce their candidacy, what a farce.Kenneth Jeyaretnam is a PAP mole I can assure you, look at what he is doing in Punggol east now along with Chee Soon Juan's SDP. They are going to split the votes helping the PAP along the way.Lastly, I'm afraid that there are some pressure groups from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community(LGBT) to content with, that are jostling to exert influence to shape society and national policies in the name of civilrights that is actively promoting a perverted lifestyle. Even the PAP is encouraging and promoting the LGBT community.End.

“We, the Yale College Faculty, express our concern regarding the recent history of lack of respect for civil and political rights in the state of Singapore,.........................“We urge Yale-NUS to respect, protect and further principles of non-discrimination for all, including sexual minorities and migrant workers; to uphold civil liberty and political freedom on campus and in the broader society.“These ideals lie at the heart of liberal arts education as well as of our civic sense as citizens, and they ought not to be compromised in any dealings or negotiations with the Singaporean authorities.”unquote.

"Monday 25 April, Dr Balakrishnan and his GRC team issued a statement on the matter. The PAP statement, which was undersigned by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan and candidates Liang Eng Hwa, Christopher de Souza and Sim Ann, reads as follows:

“A video has been posted on the internet showing Vincent Wijeysingha participating at a forum which discussed the promotion of the gay cause in Singapore. “The discussion at the forum also touched on sex with boys and whether the age of consent for boys should be 14 years of age.

“In the video, Wijeysingha was introduced as being from the SDP. “In addition to other comments, Wijeysingha stated: ‘I think the gay community has to rally ourselves. Perhaps one outcome of today’s forum would be, for those of us who are interested, to come together to further consider how we can address the 377 issue as well as further rights issues in relation to gays and lesbians.’“We believe that candidates should be upfront about their political agenda and motives, so that voters are able to make an informed choice." unquote.

Yeah..every few years...open the chow longkangs for cockroaches to tell us how great they are and only to prove later...they shit like all of us and the more we know them and listen to them...we die laffing

“The residents have to be practical and realistic – that you must choose to vote the person who can do the work for you. I think it’s a fallacy to believe that you can have the best of both worlds – choose the person to make a statement but hope that the other person who’s voted out is going to be having all the resources, all the authority, to get the work done for you.”

TRANSLATION------------Vote for me if you want my help.Yeah, right.

To all Singaporeans who voted PAP in GE 2011.So how have you benefited by voting PAP?

HDB flats more affordable now?Car prices more affordable?MRT train no more breakdown?

Singapore assets belonging to Town Councils very secure?And will never be sold without Singapore President's knowledge and approval?

"Even the PAP is encouraging and promoting the LGBT community." - This world will not be better if it is controlled by a bunch of money worshipping, anti families people. Guess how many LGBTs controlling the fed reserves? thats the reason why they wanna convert this world into a horrible place by selling democracy. Perhaps, China and Russia and AH knew that long ago.

I think we should all vote for PAP. Remember when you are in trouble, just mention to your MP that you always support PAP. So many benefits.

Only PAP MP can tell the traffic warden not to issue or waive summons ticket to you. If you are caught asking someone to take the blame for you, only PAP can tell the DPP not to ask for jail term for you like that waffles. If you are caught committing adultery with your staff/student, only PAP can make sure you will not be persecuted like that Palmer.

The results are there for everyone to see. So why so daft to vote for the opposition ? LKY already warned you all mah.

I really hope the opposition will win. My consituency is ruled by PAP. I just got chided this morning by an auntie for using the toilet at the CC near my place. She even go to the extent of pointing at a camera telling me that my image will be captured by the camera & the town council will know who uses their toilets. For God sake I also pay conservancy charges monthly promptly. I had also seen a lady using the sink washing her fruits in the toilet, I hope this auntie don't get chided too. This is one town council who had made huge losses during the financial crises for their unwise investment. Till today, the public still wants to know where the $ has gone. These PAP lackeys now under pressure so I borrow toilet to use they also think I waste their resources.

Punggol Voters need not be caught in dilemma over who to vote nor have to sit on the fence over the election, if they are serious in choosing their parliamentary representative.

SDA and RP stand no chance to be elected. With these two out, there left only PAP and WP.

Next, voters who believe and or think PAP has improved or made their livings better, vote PAP.

Those who feel that their live and living have become more difficult and challenging, vote WP. Not that WP will make living better, however, when and as more voters crossed over to Alternative Parties, the Rulers will be more mindful of the people.

The Rulers have taken voters for granted until GE 2011. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE SEE THE REMOVAL OF SOME OFTHE MINISTERS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE LEAST PEOPLE FRIENDLY AND EFFECTIVE.

For the First Time, Voters in Aljunied GRC, Hougang SMC and the People as a whole have shown the Rulers the Peoples' Power. Subsequently, voters in Hougang confirmed the Need to humble the PAP by retaining the WP as their choice to represent them in Parliament in a By Election.

"I really hope the opposition will win. My consituency is ruled by PAP. I just got chided this morning by an auntie for using the toilet at the CC near my place. She even go to the extent of pointing at a camera telling me that my image will be captured by the camera & the town council will know who uses their toilets. For God sake I also pay conservancy charges monthly promptly. I had also seen a lady using the sink washing her fruits in the toilet, I hope this auntie don't get chided too. This is one town council who had made huge losses during the financial crises for their unwise investment. Till today, the public still wants to know where the $ has gone. These PAP lackeys now under pressure so I borrow toilet to use they also think I waste their resources. "

I hope you are not using the wrong toilet, are you ? If you are male, please choose male toilet, female the same thing. LOL

A gay guy falls in love with a colo-rectal surgeon. He goes to the colo-rectal surgeon's office and says that he has an obstruction.

So the colo-rectal surgeon sticks his hand up the guy's ass but can't find anything. However, he notices that the man has an erection, so the colo-rectal surgeon cuts short the examination and orders the gay guy out of his office.

The next day, the gay guy calls the colo-rectal surgeon and claims he has another obstruction. The colo-rectal surgeon doesn't believe him but the guy claims he is in great pain, so the doctor relents.

When the guy arrives, the doctor sticks his hand up the guy's ass again but this time he finds something. "Good God!" the doctor exclaims, "No wonder you're in pain. There are two dozen roses shoved up your ass."

The gay guy turns around excitedly and says, "Read the card! Read the Card!"
